lol yeah
Everything I'm doing now is just non essential stuff, it's running
One thing I need to do is raise it up a couple inches in the rear but when I went to adjust the torsions the spring plate bushings are shot.

Ok I got it together and was driving around, crank pulley seal is leaking like a sieve, chugging along low on power, vibrating, feeling like what waste of time and money and all of sudden cruising down the highway it snapped out of it , revs jumped up and it started pulling hard
Ran great all the way home
I don't want to jinx it but if it continues to run like this I'd be happy

Sounds like the gods of the sun suddenly shown down on you. That is a marvelous feeling isn't it.

More like the plugs finally got hot enough to self-clean.
Consider a fresh set.
Old Gas happens fast these days.

Been running flex hose until I was satisfied with the radiator position

Actually i love it, i just got back a minute ago from romping around in the wet sand.
I was just thinking of something different that the wife and kids could drive
I wish i could put an automatic trans in it, that would seal the deal
